- Comment on 'We are essentially in a new Gilded Age’: As workers get laid off, CEOs and shareholders gobble up hundreds of billions in profits 2 weeks ago:
The fact this is coming from Fortune is peak talking-out-of-both-sides-of-your-mouth. “We’re living in a gilded age, now here’s our ranking of the top 500 companies ensuring the boot stays on your neck.”
- Comment on McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years 2 weeks ago:
Might be market specific, I would regularly get 30% off coupons at my nearest one and not at the one further away owned by a different franchisee.

Looks interesting, although the protagonist runs like they have a full diaper.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
It’s mainly the colors, but it came with some extras as well. And a paperclip.
Like I said, about $300 overpriced even with the additional items and only hyped due to limited edition. How many times has Nintendo released a console in NES colors without making it limited? Just a ridiculous move by Sony.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
I would have paid $700 for the Pro if it came with everything the 30th anniversary edition had, and maybe a little more if it also included the Portal.
Unfortunately, Sony can’t stop tripping over their own incompetence and limited the units to 12,300 for a reason that can be simplified to be: “money.” So it sold out in less than a minute to scalper’s bots and can now be found on eBay for five times the price.

You went to the toilet just to take this photo. Don’t take it as a criticism, I would have, too.
- Comment on The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it. 1 month ago:
I think there may be a couple edits needed in your comment. Reread slowly and get back to us.
- Comment on Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, Inc. 1 month ago:
Bad move by Nintendo. This game was on track to be forgotten. Pocketpair forgot about it months ago, but the players were starting to catch on to that. Now there will be a resurgence of interest.

- Comment on “So tired”: Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ prices increase by up to 25 percent in October 3 months ago:
Coax as in to gently persuade. I’d say 25% hike is more like coercion though, maybe that’s the point you’re making here?
- Comment on Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance? 3 months ago:
Because the human body needs way more maintenance and expertise to maintain.
